The Witcher: Start with the Lord Marrying a Wife.

Chapter 291 Temptation
Another period of time passed like this.

After successfully raising the source of magic power to the fifth ring, David returned to the castle.

To him, the sick witch was not even a lover.

For the morbid female wizard, breaking through the five rings is impossible. He will probably rarely seek out the morbid female wizard for training in the future.

If you just want to enjoy the pleasure of being a lover, Melissa is obviously a better choice.

In addition, David has also sent people to the Death Sea in the westernmost part of the Endless Sea, trying to find the Blood Shadow Island on the outskirts.

Unfortunately, these bloodline wizards are too cunning, and no clues have been found so far.

David pondered for a moment and realized that when facing a power like the Bloodline Wizard, he would need a more secretive and strategic path.

He thought about it and decided to start with the sick witch.

"I need you to contact those bloodline wizards and get their information."

"Tell them you are still willing to serve them, and in the meantime let me lurk among the fleet so we can find further opportunities."

The sick female witch frowned slightly. She was still wary of the blood wizard, but everything about her was under his control. She could not resist any decision made by David and could only cooperate as much as possible.

Next, David began to make a plan.

In the following days, the sick witch took David and the wizards on a journey again.

Although the original slave ship had been destroyed, it was not difficult for them to build another one.

At the same time, David began to prepare for his action.

He used his knowledge of the sea area and sailing routes to hide quietly on the eve of the fleet's departure.

As night fell, the slave ship slowly sailed away from the Blue Island.

David directly activated his sea god blood to accelerate the ship, allowing it to quickly cross a large area of ​​sea.

Soon, they approached the Sea of ​​Death.

The sea was covered with fog, and waves of low hums seemed to come from the deep sea, making people feel creepy.

But at this moment, no one noticed the figure hidden among them.

Between the waves and the mist, David held his breath and listened quietly. The whispers seemed like calls from the abyss.

After several days of uncertain sailing, the slave ship finally approached a small island surrounded by strong winds southwest of the Sea of ​​Death.

Although this is not Blood Shadow Island, it is equally strange.

This place has strange whirlpools and a sense of disorientation, as well as an unsettling aura from an ancient power.

In this dangerous place, everyone must do everything they can to survive.

The sick witch constantly casts spells on the slave ship to awaken those around her who are thirsty for power and eager for experiments.

When she stepped onto the island, she tried to act as if nothing had happened, but she was always aware of what was going on around her.

David, who remained inconspicuous below the slave ship, watched closely what was about to unfold.

Soon after, a group of figures in black robes and with blurry faces walked out from the darkness. They were the blood wizards who had been waiting for a long time.

These people exude a suffocating and uneasy aura, wandering in the darkness like ghosts.

They stared at the sick witch standing in front of the crowd. One of the leaders said coldly, "You are back as expected. We thought you were dead."

"Recently, the Endless Sea is full of wizards and demons from hell. It does take a little longer to get here."

"I have new news." The sick witch looked directly at the other party.

She knew better than to show any fear or hesitation now. "I have brought information that will help us with a new experiment."

Facing this group of indifferent yet curious people, David vaguely heard their conversations about experiments and cultivation.

He understood that this was an important moment for him to gain intelligence and find opportunities.

His main purpose in dealing with these bloodline wizards this time was to further obtain the inheritance of the bloodline wizards.

Now his bloodline is only at the fourth ring, although he possesses the sixth-ring sea god bloodline and the talent for beast transformation, which allows him to reach the level of a fifth-ring bloodline wizard.

However, if one wants to truly break through to the level of a five-ring bloodline wizard, one needs to further acquire the inheritance of a five-ring bloodline wizard.

"Take us to see the goods." The blood wizard said.

If you want to continue conducting blood experiments, powerful test subjects are essential.

David was in a hidden place at the bottom of the ship, listening carefully to the conversation between the bloodline wizards.

He knew that the power of the sick witch alone could not fully control these cunning and dangerous beings.

As the conversation between the sick female wizard and the blood wizard gradually deepened, he silently chanted a spell in his heart, preparing to activate the power contained in the blood of the sea god.

"I'll show you the new stuff I have." The sick witch said.

Then she cast a spell in the sea, causing waves.

At the same time, David silently activated the fog barrier, manipulating the surrounding environment to trap any intruders.

He focused his mind on it, causing the mist to spread rapidly, covering the entire slave ship in a faint blue light.

The thick and mysterious fog spread rapidly, swallowing up everything around it.

Those black-robed bloodline wizards instantly felt an indescribable sense of uneasiness and suffocation. They began to look around in panic, only to find themselves trapped in endless fog.

"What is this!?", one of the blood wizards shouted in horror, "We are trapped!"

"What did you do?" another one angrily questioned the sick witch.

"This was an unnecessary mistake."

David said calmly, stepping out of his hiding place, "You plan to continue the experiment, and I just need you to get more information."

As his voice fell, the mist barrier began to condense more and more. The men in black robes struggled in pain but were unable to shake this power.

They tried to cast spells, but were suppressed by a thick, smooth, and unique force that flowed like water. Both their bodies and souls seemed to be locked up.

Faced with David's threat, the bloodline wizards quickly turned into anger.

They looked at each other, and then everyone began to mobilize the blood power deep in their hearts to transform into a more powerful existence.

As the low murmur of the spell spread in the air, the power in their bodies began to fluctuate violently, as if the long-hidden animal nature was awakened in an instant.

The black robes were gradually torn apart by the twisted and deformed flesh, and they turned into deformed and terrifying monsters, with claws as sharp as blades, limbs twisted like snakes, flexible and powerful, and eyes flashing with ferocity, madness and anger.

"You will pay for what you have done!"

One of the men who had transformed into a monster-like form growled, his voice deep and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of hell.

The other bloodline wizards behind him also spoke one after another, no longer calm and confident, but roaring like wild beasts.

David looked at this scene, his face still very calm. As long as he could control them, he could obtain the inheritance and secrets.

The mist barrier is not perfect, and such a huge change also causes fluctuations in the barrier.

While David was concentrating, the deformed creatures frantically attacked the surrounding fog in an attempt to break through the barrier.

They tore through the air, crashed into the fog, and tore everything around them into pieces, charging forward with unmatched force.

"Do you really think such power can break my spell?" David smiled coldly.

He stood at the bow and summoned the hidden power of the sea god's bloodline with firm and powerful words: "Come, show me everything you really want!"

Then, he raised his hand high, mobilizing even more powerful power of the sea god and combining it with the thick fog.

He expanded it through a special magic circle, making the low humming sound in his ears louder and louder, constantly strengthening the sense of oppression in the entire field.

At the same time, a shocking and extremely strong aura of uneasiness spread from his side, sweeping towards those deformed creatures like a violent storm.

Those bloodline wizards who had lost their minds and were only driven by instinct could not resist this force, and they let out shrill and desperate roars.

In front of the power of the sea god, all their original arrogance and unreasonable frenzy seemed insignificant.

An old, familiar, yet terrifying feeling of uneasiness once again enveloped them, plunging them into deep despair.

"Listen to me!"

David's eyes were as sharp as torches, and he activated the power of the six-ring sea god bloodline and the beast mark in his body.

For a moment, the struggling black-robed deformers seemed to stop instantly, and each of them showed a complex and hesitant look.

The next moment, several relatively weaker small mutants finally chose to compromise.

They lowered their heads, with a hint of fear and despair in their eyes, as if they finally realized how powerless their violence and deformation were in front of David.

This scene shocked the other bloodline wizards who were still struggling frantically, and they didn't know how to react.

"You can choose to surrender and have a chance to survive." David approached slowly.

He knew that he had to take the situation firmly into his own hands at this time in order to gain more information and power.

He stared at the deformed ones, exerting psychological pressure with his powerful aura and majesty.

"We are willing to obey your orders." One of the small mutants said in a trembling voice.

At this point, they had realized that if they continued to resist, it would only result in unnecessary deaths, as the opponent's aura was completely beyond their ability to resist.

"very good."

David nodded slightly, then turned to the other bloodline wizards who were still struggling frantically.

"You can make the same choice. If you want to survive, choose to submit to me."

Although these monsters were forced to transform, they still possess intelligence and emotions deep down.

Faced with the invisible threat emanating from the blood of Poseidon and the small mutants who had already compromised, their hesitation gradually increased.

Some people who were originally extremely fanatical also began to waver and no longer resisted completely.

"You think you can control us? We are the most powerful!"

Another larger aberration roared angrily, he seemed unwilling to give in easily, "I will never compromise with a human!"

"Foolish!" David responded coldly, with unquestionable majesty in his tone, "Your arrogance will only accelerate your demise. Now, you either surrender or accept extinction."

As his words fell, the pressure released from the depths of the Sea God's bloodline hit him again.

Those who were still hesitating looked at each other. Such a terrifying and powerful force caused an indescribable uneasiness to arise deep in their hearts.

In this situation, they can only follow their instincts and grasp even the slightest hope of survival.

Eventually, those smaller aberrations that had not yet gone completely insane surrendered.

They lowered their heads and retracted their claws, as if submitting to the ruler.

As these small monsters gradually surrendered, only the leading blood wizard was left standing there with a gloomy face.

But in the next moment, the terrifying blood aura of Liuhuan suddenly descended, causing him to open his eyes wide in horror.

"Are you a blood wizard too?"

"No, why is the blood aura on your body so terrifying?"

This bloodline wizard, whose strength is close to the fifth ring, suddenly showed surprise in his eyes.

The bloodline wizard's name was Calder. He was a tall man with his face covered by a black robe. Only his pair of cold and deep eyes could reveal his inner emotions.

He was originally a prestigious researcher in the field of blood, known for his crazy pursuit of blood experiments, and was even called the "Blood Hunter" in some circles.

Calder focuses on combining ancient blood with modern magic, hoping to break through his own limits through continuous experimentation.

He once tried to improve his strength through dangerous rituals, but he lost a lot of companions and became more and more lonely.

What he pursues is a legendary "perfect bloodline", one that can combine strength and wisdom to the extreme and possess the ability to control life and death.

At this moment, seeing the aura emanating from David, his heart was filled with shock and fear.

Due to his long-term focus on power and experimentation, he was extremely sensitive to potential threats that would destroy himself, which was why he was so surprised.

"You...how can you possess such a powerful bloodline?" Carde said in a deep voice.

"This is not something you can know." David responded disdainfully, and the aura on his body became stronger.

"You just need to understand that I am in control of the situation now, and your only choice is to surrender. Otherwise, you will pay a heavy price for your arrogance."

Calder's face darkened instantly, and the little bit of rationality he had just gained was lost bit by bit due to his anger. His body began to further transform into blood, and a large number of magical beast characteristics appeared.

As Calder roared angrily, his body was instantly swallowed by the power of blood, gradually becoming twisted and huge.

His bulging muscles were covered with scales, his bones made harsh crackling sounds, and sharp claws extended from his fingertips, making him look like an enraged beast.
